(Closed) Destination Wedding – DIY (pictures)

I recently got married in FL, we had a small family ceremony on Clearwater Beach and dinner at Island Way Grill. It was the most wonderful day. We planned it in 3 weeks due to immigration problems, I am Canadian. Everything went off without a hitch!

My dress was WG3438 – Swiss dot tulle from David’s Bridal – I bought it off the rack – $300

Suit from Jos A bank = $250

Flowers – Publix Grocery store, I bought loose flowers and put them all together myself, both bouquets and boutineers – $60

Cake – I made yellow sponge and colored it, then piped it myself, with my sister’s help – $35

I also did my own hair and my sister did my makeup.

The officient/photographer was from Abby’s Weddings, they were great and took pictures with my mom’s Nikon 5100. I edited them myself, and got them printed at a printing company in milwaukee – Cost $400 for both officiant and photographer for 1.5h

Flights $220 each. (MKE –> TPA)

Dinner paid for my our parents.

TOTAL = $1485ish

I feel like i’m bragging now, but I was just so happy that I was able to pull it off or less than $1500! It makes me want to plan cheap weddings for other couples!
